The much-awaited India vs England Test series kickstarted on Thursday with the visitors winning the toss and amassing 246 in their first innings. Winning the toss, English skipper Ben Stokes without any hesitation decided to bat first and showcase the famous 'Bazball' at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. However, Rohit Sharma & Co. curtailed the Bazzball threat by bundling England at 246 runs. While the first innings of England contained many game-turning incidents, it was a fan hugging and touching Rohit Sharma's feet that won the internet.
When Team India openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma came out to bat, the match was halted for a bit as a fan intruded on the field to meet one of his cricketing idols. Entering the field, the fan rushed to Rohit Sharma who was standing at the non-strikers' end. The fan gave Rohit Sharma a bare hug and touched his feet as a gesture of respect. However, soon he was taken out of the ground by the security. Now, Rohit Sharma fan touching feet video is going viral on social media.
IND vs END 1st Test Day 1
As expected the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad was a spin paradise and English skipper Ben Stokes played a lone battle. Ben Stokes smashed 70 off 88 balls with the help of 6 fours and 3 sixes. While the other English batters could not deliver on Day 1 of the India vs England Test. Talking about Team India's balling lineup, Jadeja and Ashwin took 3 wickets each, while Bumrah & Axar took 2 wickets. It was Jasprit Bumrah who bamboozled Ben Stokes when he was smashing all around the park. INDvEND 1st Test: Fan touches Rohit Sharma's feet & hugs him on the field during live-match
